If you have seen some words tossed out by an author and didn't know what they meant. Or your a reader and you don't get why people get excited by ARCs - see what it means! Its a great guide for authors and readers alike.

I'm moving! The plan is to move on April 15th and the security deposit is already eating up most of my bonus from work. I have a steady job, but I will need help to afford some moving help (I don't drive), a couple new furniture pieces, and double rent for one month. ko-fi.com/thetomatowri...
